My research interests lie in the fields of machine learning and data mining. In particular, I focus on the development and analysis of algorithms for relational domains, including social, information, and communication networks, as well as physical networks and distributed systems. My work can be broadly categorized into: (1) design and implementation of machine learning and data mining techniques, (2) discovery of, and adjustment for, statistical biases due to networks data characteristics, and (3) application to real-world tasks.
